Chapter 80: Tomorrow is the beginning of the year? Chaos is about to break out in the Dawu Dynasty
The next day.
Chang'an, palace.
Tianluan Palace.
The news from Xingqing Prefecture made the empress overjoyed.
He whispered, "Is it possible that the White Lotus Sect's headquarters is in Yangwu Town?"
But the words just fell.
The empress frowned again.
What was the purpose of King Zhenbei telling her this?
Is there any conspiracy behind this?
But then I thought about it.
But he also felt that the King of Zhenbei would not resort to any means against him.
Furthermore.
This matter may be a conspiracy.
She had no choice but to eradicate the White Lotus Sect and take back the relief grain.
"Someone is coming."
"Let Shangguan Yun come to see me."
Following the empress's order, after one stick of incense.
Shangguan Yun hurried into the palace and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"Flat body."
The empress waved her hand.
He handed the news from Xingqing Prefecture on the table to the person who was looking at him eagerly.
Lu Qingqing was pouting and feeling bored for many days.
"Yes, Lord Shangguan."
Lu Qingqing took the secret letter and took a sneak peek at it first.
Then he walked down and handed it to Shangguan Yun.
Seeing Shangguan Yun take it, the empress said, "After reading it, tell me your opinion."
"Here."
Shangguan Yun looked at the secret letter when she heard it.
Upon seeing this, his pupils shrank immediately.
Her pretty face changed slightly as she asked, "The White Lotus Sect's lair is hidden in Yangwu Town?"
"And King Wu is actually connected to the White Lotus Sect?"
"A mysterious person who is no weaker than a half-step celestial being."
"hiss"
Looking at the secret letter in her hand, Shangguan Yun couldn't help but take a breath.
His eyes were filled with shock.
"Your Majesty." The matter was of great importance. After Shangguan Yun calmed down, she couldn't help but ask the empress, "I wonder if this news is true?"
It’s not that she doesn’t trust Ruan Surong and her two daughters.
But this news is indeed somewhat shocking.
She never expected it.
The princes of the Dawu Dynasty actually colluded with the evil cult that everyone hated and planned to seize the Dawu kingdom.
There is also Yangwu Town.
She had passed by this place many times over the years, and although she had never stopped, she had never noticed anything unusual.
"Except for the fact that the White Lotus Sect's lair is in Yangwu Town, which has yet to be confirmed, everything else is true." When asked by Shangguan Yun, the empress nodded and said, "What do you think about this matter?"
"This"
Shangguan Yun was shocked again when he heard this.
Didn't answer.
Instead, he respectfully reminded: "Your Majesty, tomorrow is the beginning of the new year."
The empress was slightly startled after hearing this.
Murmured: "Tomorrow, is it the beginning of the new year?"
She didn't forget.
All of these have occurred in many previous simulations.
The first day of the year.
The King of Jin led an army of 450,000 to the north to rebel, which triggered a series of chain reactions.
What can be said is.
The rebellion of Prince Jin was the fuse.
The already turbulent situation in the Dawu Dynasty instantly fell apart.
The princes of the world are all ready to make a move.
It also represents what’s next.
The Dawu Dynasty will also be in complete chaos.
"How is Chongli Mansion now?"
At Shangguan Yun's reminder, the empress frowned and did not mention the White Lotus Sect again.
Instead, he asked about Chongli Prefecture.
"Return to Your Majesty."
Shangguan Yun breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.
He replied, "Under General Ning's control, Chongli Prefecture has made sufficient preparations." The empress nodded after hearing this and said, "That's good. I have confidence in Ning He's ability. With her here, the Prince of Jin will not be able to take Chongli Prefecture for a while."
"Yun'er, pick a few of my sisters who are above the second rank and go to Chongli Mansion to assist Ninghe." Since the last time the empress made up her mind to purge the Jinyiwei, within just a few days.
The entire Jinyiwei cannot be said to be completely new.
But at the very least.
The Jinyiwei in Chang'an and its surrounding areas have been replaced by people who are truly loyal to her.
As for the Jinyiwei in the entire Dawu Dynasty.
It will take more than a short period of time to completely eradicate it.
"Here."
Shangguan Yun responded respectfully.
He was about to go down and pass on the order.
But before she could leave, the empress stopped her and ordered, "After you go to the Royal Guards, ask Xianxian and my uncles to come over."
"Big sister, I want to go too."
After hearing this, the two active little ones' eyes lit up.
Jumped out immediately.
He looked eagerly at the empress: "We promise that we won't run around, okay, Senior Sister."
"Go."
Seeing this, the empress couldn't help but smile.
Under the expectant gaze of the two little ones, he nodded slightly.
"Yahoo!"
Look at the senior sister nodding.
Lu Qingqing and Huang Ying'er immediately shouted "Long live the eldest sister", immediately pulled Shangguan Yun along, and rushed out of the hall like a gust of wind.
"These two little guys, are they being treated unfairly by staying with me?" Upon seeing this scene, the empress slightly opened her red lips and chuckled.
In those narrow eyes.
Once again, a chill arose.
She knew what Shangguan Yun meant by not answering her earlier but reminding herself that tomorrow was the beginning of the new year.
Nothing less.
The Prince of Jin was about to rebel, and coupled with the many previous plans, the soldiers were mobilized.
Today, there are not enough people available.
Even if they were sure that the White Lotus's lair was in Yangwu Town, they were powerless to suppress it.
It is better to hold back for now.
But the empress did not intend to wait any longer.
Based on her understanding of the White Lotus Sect, Yangwu Town must be its lair.
There is more to it than that.
There was only the batch of relief grain that was stolen earlier.
The White Lotus Sect's ability to make money over the years is truly terrifying.
The wealth accumulated.
I'm afraid it's a shocking number.
"Without more money to replenish the national treasury, such a huge court will really collapse." Thinking of this, the empress's eyes became colder and she felt depressed.
Especially when I think about it.
Empress Dowager Xiao, who was eyeing her covetously in the harem, had murderous intent in her beautiful eyes after she emptied the national treasury.
I can't wait to start killing people.
All those who plot treason in the world will be killed.
and so.
Eradicating the White Lotus Sect was an urgent matter that had to be done. You have to know that silver was needed to fight a war, to mobilize troops, and to pay salaries to ministers in the court and officials in various places.
We can't let the soldiers go to war on an empty stomach, can we?
You can't always do that.
Officials were forced to work for the court on an empty stomach, and they could not survive without their salaries for a long time.
In the end, you start to embezzle and squeeze the people's money?
It is worth mentioning that the annual salary of both soldiers and officials in the Dawu Dynasty was not low.
An ordinary soldier.
One year's military pay was ten thousand coins, which was equivalent to ten taels of silver.
Don't underestimate these ten taels of silver.
Ten taels of silver are enough for an ordinary family to have enough food and clothing for a year.
same.
The revenue of the Ministry of Revenue in the Dawu Dynasty in one year.
At least half of it was used to pay salaries to soldiers and officials.
Last year's salary.
It has been overdue for more than half a month.
If you don't give it to me, it will probably lead to disaster.
